Holiday Gift Ideas for a Healthy New Year
Today I am sharing holiday gift ideas for a healthy New Year.
What if we could gift our loved ones with items that would support and encourage healthy habits as we enter 2025? I love this idea, and it was the inspiration behind this holiday gift guide.
These gifts are categorized by the pillars of good health - movement, healthy eating, good sleep, stress management, and reducing environmental toxins.
These gifts would be perfect for family or friends, and even to gift to yourself!
Here are my favorite holiday gift ideas for a healthier 2025.

Holiday Gift Ideas for a Healthy New Year
Check out some of my favorite things to gift family and friends to promote a healthy start to 2025.
Gifts that Support Exercise
#1: Walking Pad
The benefits of walking for our health is very well-documented, and with more and more people sitting for most of their days, a walking pad is a great way to get your steps in. I even use it for quick walks in the morning before work when it's too dark and cold to go outside.
#2: Weighted Vest
Weighted vests have been trending lately as a way to boost your fitness and increase your strength. They come in a variety of weights and styles to fit your needs. They can be a great way to add resistance training to your walks and workouts.
Gifts that Support Healthy Eating
#3: Protein Powder
From smoothies to bowls to baking, a good quality protein powder is a great way to boost your daily protein intake. I love Just Ingredients for the simple, clean ingredients, great taste (no yucky aftertaste) and variety of flavors. If you are undecided, try these travel packs and get a variety of flavors. (Use code 'NOTES' at checkout for 10% off!)
#4: Nutribullet Pro Blender
The Nutribullet Pro is a must-have for making the best healthy smoothies. Smoothies are a great way to get protein, fiber, fat, and greens in a meal or snack. This is the gift that keeps on giving. We use ours almost daily!
Gifts that Support Sleep & Stress Reduction
#5: Hatch Alarm Clock & Sound Machine
Sleep is essential to good overall health, and this alarm clock and sound machine aims to help with this. It's an investment, but from what I have heard, it's a winner. It's an alarm clock and sound machine that is touted for it's ability to help you get a better night's sleep. It wakes you gently and has a dimmer to keep your room dark. There is a companion app, but you don't need your phone nearby to use it.
#6: Headspace Subscription
Gift a year of meditation to a loved one to promote health and reduce stress. We have an annual subscription that my son uses every night to help him sleep. There are meditations, sleepcasts and more for kids and adults.
Gifts that Support Eliminating Toxins
#7: Clean Beauty Products
We have more clean beauty products available to us than ever before. By swapping out traditional products for cleaner versions, you can avoid chemicals that are proving to be bad for our overall health and the health of our kids. Two of my favorites are this nourishing multi-use facial oil and this essentials set for men. (Check out this post for more ideas!)
